Subject: FUNNY - pecans in the cemetery

PECANS IN THE CEMETERY

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big old pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.

'One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me,' said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.
Another boy came
riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery, so he slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, 'One for you, one for me, one for you, one for me...'

He just knew what it was. He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the bend he met an
old man with a cane, hobbling along.

'Come here quick,' said the boy, 'you won't believe what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls!'

The man said, 'Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk.’ When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled slowly to the cemetery.

Standing by the fence they heard, 'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me.'

The old man whispered, 'Boy, you've been tellin' me the
truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord!

Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the Lord.

At last they heard, 'One for you, one for me. That's
all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done...'


They say the old man had the lead for a good half-mile before the kid on the bike passed him.



have a good day, Jeff

All of this snow is putting more nitrogen into the ground too.

HB does that hay have any white mold in it? If it does that makes it bitter. If he used liquid nitrogen that was most likely 28%,it ain't that bad. On the good note crank them clocks up 1 hr Saturday,WINTER IS LOSIN" IT'S HOLD

Hillbilly might have it tested to much nitrogen also will make it bitter and will kill a cow. Don't know about horses. Like Tony says white mold they won't eat and if made to eat cows will od on it if eat to much. Have to be careful on silage with nitrogen in corn also.

Hope this helps. Jeff

Great job to John Bishop and Sonic and Mark Vandeventer and Dizzy those are tremendous accomplishments. Large numbers of dogs from all over the best in the country. That is awesome. Congrats to all winners.

Well my beginning of swim and field trailing training season just started yesterday for Mister Money Maker better know as Moo Moo. Gonna have to talk to Ed Casper or his wife on naming dogs one day.

Plans are as such if my health and wallet hold up make him a grand water champ, show champ, field trial champ and nite champ. That is a big list and should have started on it when he was younger. He is only 5. That is my fault. Time to start traveling more.

In my travels that I did take him water racing he comes treeing from waters edge all the way to tree. Love a squaw mouth tree dog. I think he is the best tree dog swimming at least in illinois. Not bragging cause they will make a liar out of you..LOL

I remember 1 year I had the best Jr Field trial tree dog in the nation took him first race in the spring and they ran 1 1/2 miles track though 3/4 mile plowed ground. He won line and tree, next day flipped his stomach and died 2 days later after surgery $5,000 gone in a flash.. From straining himself on that hard track. Never count your chickens before the egg is hatched. I learned that lesson twice with dogs and after reading what I wrote I better humble myself from past memory and there are alot of really good dogs out there and being a water champion now we have tasted defeat once. tastes like crow..LOL

Jeff

If it is dusty that is white mold, they are not going to want to eat it very well. Sounds like my dad the not listening and no patience part anymore.....

dad Roll's hay to death it will only dry so fast, no use knocking off all the leaves. Have to have patience with hay. can't rush it.

We are way down on cows anymore only have 15 cows used to have 50 cows dad is 75 now. He is to busy with Pacer horse anymore. She has won about $70,000 lifetime first horse he had. If he had knew what he was doing she would have won many times more. Probably be his last horse to...

Take care, Jeff

Health is something most people overlook. I thought I was headed for kidney dialisis but was able to change my diet enough to avoid it so far. Doctor keeps mentioning disability but I am not ready for that yet, when it comes time I will know. I just keep rolling best i can much like you. I am back to being able to hunt safely, just wish my boys would competion hunt but neither like it. Here to much of the bad stuff about it now they both like swim racing and coon hunting. We plan to travel more this year so we will see. Best of luck to you on those pulling horses and take care yourself.


Respectfully, Jeff
